Peppermill Grill & Chill — Restaurant in Winchester

This place could easily be shut down if the code enforcement came through the door unexpectedly. Things, equipment, and the such that should be cleaned daily is cleaned weekly or monthly.

They don't use any gloves to handle the uncooked or cooked food except to batter chicken.

The grease is not replaced regularly as stated by code and regulations. They don't keep frozen foods in freezers, instead all their frozen foods are mostly kept in a wooden shed and kept inside coke can coolers you would take to a picnic or sports game.

They lack enough staff to be properly staffed and management there don't know how to run about 90% of things there. The staff they do have, openly talk infront of customers about the affairs they are having against their spouses and/or their love to buy or sell drugs. I don't see how they even stay open.

I just wish they would get up to code!

And the owner is nuts and very "hands-y" if you know...

Nice little place to stop for something fried and delicious. I got the chicken filet (which is a chicken sandwich with mayo and lettuce) with fries, and my wife got the two-cheeseburgers-for-$3 deal, along with an order of mac & cheese fries. The food was very fresh tasting, and the fries were crispy and delicious. The mac & cheese bites were very good as well, but you only get 5 of them for $2.50, so it didn't exactly feel like a great value for those.

The vibe is pretty chill (as the name might suggest). Country music playing over the speakers. Very odd decor. But I would come back again if I were ever in the area. Give it a try (and specifically, you've gotta try those fries;...

This place used to be amazing. Went in with my mom about a year ago and there was a noticeable difference in the taste and quality of the food as well as the service we received. Everything was absolutely terrible. We just decided to not return again and leave it at that. Fast forward to last night, I come home from work to my son super ill! Vomiting and so on, he cannot hold anything down and the only single thing he did.... He ate at the Peppermill. He said that after he ate his food he started feeling strange and by the time I got off work he's bed ridden. I do want to say that this place used to be so amazing....
